Washer stops and displays F8E4; water may be found in the bottom pan or under the machine.

Safety: Unplug the washer and turn off water supply. Use towels to clean up any standing water to prevent slipping and electrical hazards.

• Inspect for visible leaks: Remove the lower front panel or rear panel and look for water trails around the pump, hoses, and tub.
• Check door boot (front-load): Examine the rubber door gasket for tears, holes, or detergent buildup that can cause leaks. Clean or replace as needed.
• Check drain and recirculation hoses: Tighten hose clamps and replace any cracked or swollen hoses.
• Clear base tray and reset:
  • Dry the base tray completely, including any float switch or sensor.
  • Once dry, restore power and run a short cycle while observing for leaks.
• Address over-sudsing: If excessive suds are present, use HE detergent only and reduce the amount used. Run a rinse & spin to clear suds.

Persistent leaks from the tub or internal components may require professional service.
